When I open and read the pdf file everything looks fine, but whenever I try to read and parse that same pdf file all of a sudden there are a bunch of extra characters or tags. And so whenever my code is looking for a specific string, it's not finding it.
I.E.
When I open the pdf file I see this:
Membership ID: 1111111
But when I open and parse each line I get this:
MembershipMembership ID:ID: <<MemberId>>1111111
Can someone explain to me why those extra characters or tags are there? And how can I get rid of them or account for them in my code when I'm reading and parsing pdf files.
According to your description and needs, please check the following tutorials about use itextsharp or other dll to extra data, the tutorials have example code to test, please check:

Hi all,

MembershipMembership ID:ID: <<MemberId>>1111111
Can someone explain to me why those extra characters or tags are there? And how can I get rid of them or account for them in my code when I'm reading and parsing pdf files.
I'am currently using aspose.pdf library
Thank you
